The Register has reviewed OpenSolaris, and concludes: "Sun has made good on its promise to deliver OpenSolaris, the company's Unix-based answer to Linux, with a company-supported, commercial update arriving in mid-May. Although far from a complete product, the latest OpenSolaris is impressive and in the long run could prove a viable alternative to Linux."

So, we take Solaris, we plop Gnome on it, and make it look and feel just like Linux. Um, what's the point? Is the Open Source movement going to move beyond copying to actually creating a new way to use our computers?
